In the early years of our re-emergence as a ‘proper’ football team under Martin O’Neill, Celtic were patronised by the suggestion that they ‘don’t play friendlies’, largely as a result of Martin’s ability to win games against teams from south of the border.
That comment is seldom aired these days, as for many years, Celtic have stretched their muscles in friendlies without worrying too much about the score. Gordon Strachan’s teams would lose the meaningless games with regularity but would largely win the important qualifiers which followed. So much so I’d probably feel uncomfortable watching Celtic apply themselves too much when it didn’t matter.
We will get a good measure of how match fitness needs to improve ahead of Champions League qualifiers in two weeks when we face Ukrainian aide, Sevastopol, tonight. Ukrainian football is one of the most sought-after properties in the game at the moment; the Russians have been making amorous overtures to the entire league, as they hope to build a super-league by joining up with the Ukrainians. I’m sure Celtic officials will have an active interest in the subject ahead of the game.
No injuries, please, you can forget about the score.
Delighted to hear Roy Keane is coming up for the Celtic Charity #19 game for Stiliyan Petrov’s Foundation on 8 September. Stan played with some timeless Celtic heroes (Roy’s 13 games doesn’t give him enough material to qualify for this accolade) in his seven years at the club; my money is on the event selling out (ticket details at bottom of page) as they are confirmed one at a time……

That’s what my doc tells me, then I get starving late at night and have two bowls of cereal.
Mind I can walk and I can sit up, (note not do a sit up) so there’s hope yet.

I would be happy to get to 13 stone.
Chocolate addiction and snacking are my downfall.
I’m guessing that 2.00pm for you.
I’ll be on here at 1.00pm Celtic Park time with a scale busting weight.
Till then and no rummaging for chocolate.

Night all.
I detest that piss pour programme question of sport.
Mrs bt is well and truly in the bad books for asking me to watch that rubbish.
English humour does my head in..o ((
Exercise is good for you and makes you feel better, but it will also make you hungrier as your body balances things.
Weight loss is all about food.
Cut out sugar, flour, rice, and potatoes.
Then just eat whatever else you like.
Your blood sugar levels will be healthy, your insulin production low, and your food cravings will disappear.
Sugar is a drug, we should treat it as such.
any QOS links of Lenny for us ferners?
Lenny knows his stuff

Grasses. You’ve been tellt already my beloved as a crap car.
Sugar ok, good: rice, wheat, oats, corn …diabetes central
wheat=bread/beer/pasta/others
When I went to Asia I did not eat rice. Lost 20 pounds.
Rascar Capac
What to eat as Carbs then? Pasta? Cous Cous?
No another rice v totties debate?!
Songs debate anyone?
Haha off to bed to dream of electric totties!!
Starry
Fruit and vegetables.
Rascar Capac
Ma weans are no gonny like this!!
As Jabba would sing:
‘The Record shows I gave the blows and
Did it my way!!!!!’
Starry
Pasta is FLOUR!
Bread is FLOUR!
FLOUR is just a big pile of sugar.
It’s not rocket science…
Rascar – reminds me of the old gang fae Temple, Temple Scurvy. Reckon they were just short of a banana or two. Certainly no’ orange. Just nuts!
Put it in a milk bottle, light the blue touch paper, Run like feck….that’s rocket science!!
Starry
It’s the best diet in the world.
Bacon, egg n sausage for breakfast, steak for dinner.
Or burgers if you’re skint.
Microwave steambag veg to accompany is a doddle.
Oh and cheese over everything.
And the weight falls off.

Rascar is right
naefatbastardseatingcarbsCFC
Crushed nuts
At the risk of giving too much information…
Another benefit of cutting out sugar is the cage doesn’t smell at all.
